I know Honda is working on both a new NSX II and S660.

Apparently the Veloster's rear suspension is terrible, and the GenCoupe really doesn't feel very sharp...
I believe during comparison tests the FWD Si was chose over the Genesis coupe when it came to handling.

Also that is what the author believes. I'm pretty sure that author that writes for Autoblog does not work for Kia and is just guessing like everyone else.

I THINK it looks like the Provo concept, that is why I posted what I did. I think it will just be a updated Provo concept with a facelift. Again, thats just what I believe.

I have the right to my own opinion just like everyone here.
Wow man, take a chill pill. If it's a matter of opinion, why take it so personal?

Also, my vision is 20/20, I don't need them checked.

Im perfectly clam. Did I curse you out or anything? I did not mean to come off as a d*ck either. It just seems like you were attacking my opinion in your post.

You don't need to curse to seem not calm. Saying I need to have my eyes checked and putting a couple words in bold made it seem like you were a little fired up. My original post was made because a few people thought that what you posted was the new 2+2, I was just informing them that the article didn't say that. I wasn't attacking your opinion (at least, I didn't do it on purpose).

If it weighs 3100 lbs, RWD, and 315hp for around $24,995 it would be a winning recipe. A half price Cayman with more power than it and similar weight(loaded).

Of course we're all hoping that it's ~2800 lb. or less, but even if it is 3300 lb., with 315hp it would destroy the FR-S/BRZ...

Looking forward to it, hope it actually makes it to production!

I'm going to put on my faux-economist hat and say: Anything that's rwd, brand new and would "destroy a FRS/BRZ" is absolutely going to cost more than $24k, by well.. a lot.

This car will share a platform and many other components. It won't cost a lot more than a GC as it will probably be a smaller version of it anyways. I believe 25k base is spot on and it could rise to 31k with options like sports pkg and premium package.

This car might also end up being a Z fighter. The pic on the first page looks kinda 240z ish but wider. This is the only car this year that I'm setting my eyes on as I know it will be affordable. All the other cool cars coming is expensive.
